Which is softer or more comfortable the cushions covered with or without Sunbrella fabric? I have been told the Sunbrella fabric is very stiff

Whatever is standard on this set is great and quite stain resistant. It's also very comfortable, with the angle of the back cushions. I don't think you'll find a better deal on the market.

I have the standard beige cushion covers...they are not overly stiff...I don't have anything to compare it to though

Here's what I'll tell you. I went back and forth with what set of furniture to purchase. Eventually I took the chance with the less expensive of many I researched. Am I happy with it?... yes, because I chose the less expensive I can not be over critical. So, is the fabric more stuff than a more expensive set?...yes. But for me and my family it's ok for now. I am happy with the set but if you're expecting the same quality as a $3000 set, don't. I'm not even 100% sure what kind of fabric I got with my set but I know I didn't alter anything from the order either, so whatever the set generally comes with is what I have. Hope this helps.

Sunbrella is a little stiffer than other fabric but, I don't find it uncomfortable. I would recommend it if your patio furniture is going to be exposed to the elements. It is far more durable.

This set is covered in outdoor fabric and very solid cushions so has a sturdy feel to it but still very pleasant for sitting on with pillows and throw blankets. My girlfriends sleep on them at the cabin and say they are very comfortable .. quality outdoor furniture that we use for indoors and it works very nicely in a log cabin.

Hi Allan, I love my spa seat cushion, I don't consider it to be hard, just really heavy. I leave mine submerged in water 24/7 and I would say it's definitely "cushiony". Agreed that it's much smaller in real life.

Heavy nylon fabric. It's not as heavy as Sunbrella this is more like a packcloth.

I don't use any cushions on the particular slider. The wood is shaped with a curve so it is very comfortable without any. But if you do feel you need some, almost any loveseat sizes will fit. I have some that fit a porch swing and it would fit the slider also. My slider is out in sunshine and weather and has held up very well. I would buy again. Enjoy yours.

Fabric. Feels similar to an ultra suede softness . My mother really likes her chair. It does run small though that is not a problem for her she is 5 foot 105 pounds

I use "Pillow Perfect Indoor/Outdoor Black/Tan Stripe Square Chair Cushion" primarily with a metal outdoor bench. However, it fits these chairs perfectly and is quite comfortable - although quite price-y. These chairs are actually pretty comfortable by themselves and you may want to see how they feel before spending a lot of money for cushions. I find I can sit in these chairs on my deck, eat dinner and be quite comfortable during the entier meal. Of course, a nice chardonnay helps make me feel pretty comfortable on them as well. I seldom use these cushions. You can buy some pretty nice wine for the price of these cushions. I'd try that first.

Don't think fabric is Sunbrella; the cushions are cream color; seat is thinner than I had hoped.

These chairs are really comfortable. I bought some chair cushions for the seat area and it really looks nice. It's definitely not a stiff upright seat but you don't seat leaning way back. I hope this helps.

It's not scratchy. I don't use fabric softener and it's fine. With fabric softener I am sure it would be super soft!

"Comfortable without cushions"? No, not really. But you can certainly sit in them for a short period of time with no problem. I ended up buying new bottom with matching back cushions for them because my husband complained that they were not as comfortable as our previous set (which was older, had very thick cushions and was just about the most comfortable patio set I've ever sat in). Overall, though, I am very pleased with my purchase. It looks great on our back deck (with and without the cushions) and is fairly comfortable.

Thank you for your interest. Our material is not the same as Sunbrella's. We use 600 denier polyester. ~Formosa Covers

I have just regular outdoor seat cushions that I use. Very comfortable even without cushion

You know, I thought of doing the same thing! I honestly do not think it would be too soft. My sofa cushions are pretty soft themselves, could be because they are old. If you do this, please let me know how it turns out.

The cushions are water repellant and durable. I'm not sure of the exact material. The color is vibrant and true to advertised color ( I have red) Hope this helps!

I did not find the fabric stiff. It is a fairly lightweight item and is not as soft as a traditionally quilted item.

I don't know exactly what material the fabric covering the cushion is made of. I know it is a sturdy, but pleasant to touch kind of material, and it is quick drying. It is also not fading in the sun, and after being "washed" by at least 100 Florida rains, it still looks brand new.

It says that Sunbrella fabric resists UV, fading, staining and mildew, whereas I'm guessing the cotton one doesn't since it's 100% cotton. I have the colorful cotton one and it is so soft and comfy, but I keep it mostly indoors.
